Inaddition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide athorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, itwill be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that theembodiments described herein can be practiced without these specificdetails. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components havenot been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevantfeature being described. Also, the description is not to be consideredas limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawingsare not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may beexaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the presentdisclosure.

Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now bepresented.

The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to theparticular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies,such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantiallycylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can haveone or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” whenutilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; itspecifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in theso-described combination, group, series and the like.

The present disclosure is described in relation to a packing case. Thepacking case includes a base and a box removably mounted to the base.The box includes at least two side plates fixed to each other. The atleast two side plates can move from the base along a first directionperpendicular to a plane with the base. The box can move from the basealong a second direction parallel to the plane with the base.

FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a packing case 100. The packingcase 100 is used to pack goods 30. The packing case 100 includes a base10 and a box 20 removably mounted to the base 10.

The base 10 defines a plurality of locking holes 12 (see in FIG. 5). Thebox 20 includes a foldable shell 22 (see in FIG. 2) and a plurality oflocking members 24 mounted on the shell 22. The shell 22 is folded toform a first side plate 220, a second side plate 221, a third side plate222, a forth side plate 223, a fifth side plate 224 and four covers 225.The third side plate 222 and the forth side plate 223 extend fromopposite sides of the fifth side plate 224. The first side plate 220extends from the third side plate 222. The second side plate 221 extendsfrom the forth side plate 223. The four covers 225 respectively extendfrom the second side plate 221, the third side plate 222, the forth sideplate 223, and the fifth side plate 224. The third side plate 222 can besubstantially parallel to each other. The plurality of locking members24 is mounted to the third side plate 222 and the second side plate 221.The plurality of locking members 24, mounted to the second side plate221, can be arranged at a first straight line, and the first straightline can be located on a first direction that is perpendicular to aplane defined by the base 10. The plurality of locking members 24,mounted to the third side plate 222, can be aligned at a second straightline, and the second straight line can be located on a second directionthat is perpendicular to the first direction. The first side plate 220defines the plurality of locking holes 12 corresponding to the pluralityof locking members 24 mounted to the second side plate 221. In at leastone embodiment, a width of the box 20, which is located on the firstdirection, is greater than a width of the base 10.

FIG. 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view in the packing case 100. Eachlocking member 24 includes a frame 240, an elastic portion 242, and twolocking pieces 244 extending from the elastic portion 242. The elasticportion 242 is connected to the frame 240. A gap 246 is defined betweenthe two locking pieces 244. The two locking pieces 244 extend inopposite directions.

FIGS. 3-4 illustrate the box 20 mounted to the base 10. The elasticportion 242 is forced to deform to drive the two locking pieces 244 totilt and to extend into one of the plurality of locking holes 12. Whenthe force disappears, the two locking pieces 244 restore thedeformation, and an edge of each locking hole 12 is clamped between thetwo locking pieces 244 and the shell 22. The plurality of lockingmembers 24 mounted to the second side plate 221 is engaged with theplurality of locking holes 12 defined in the first side plate 220. Theplurality of locking members 24 mounted to the third side plate 222 isengaged with the plurality of locking holes 12 defined in the base 10 tofix the box 20 to the base 10. The four covers 225 are folded with eachother and are sealed by tape 40. A connecting portion of the second sideplate 221 and the third side plate 222 is sealed by the tape 40.

When the goods 30 need to be moved out of the packing case 100, the tape40 is ripped off. The elastic portion 242 is forced to deform to drivethe two locking pieces 244 to tilt and move out of one of the pluralityof locking holes 12. The second side plate 221 and the first side plate220 are unlocked. The third side plate 222 and the base 10 are unlocked.The third side plate 222 and the forth side plate 223 can rotate towardsopposite directions relative to the fifth side plate 224. The box 20 canmove from the base 10 along the second direction parallel to the planewith the base 10.

FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate another embodiment of a packing case 100. Thefirst side plate 220 is fixed to the second side plate 221 via the tape40 or thread. The third side plate 222 is fixed to the base 10 via theplurality of locking members 24. When the goods 30 need to be moved outof the packing case 100, the elastic portion 242 is forced to drive thethird side plate 222 and the base 10 to unlock. The box 20 can move fromthe base 10 along the first direction perpendicular to the plane withthe base 10.
